This module imparts knowledge and skills to enable the learner to select and specify the components of an electrical distribution system.The module also introduces modeling and analysis of electrical power transmission systems
Electrical distribution systems
Service providers distribution circuit:Service agreement and power quality issues. System typesHardware:Transformer; construction; location; rating; connection and protectionTransmission lines; overhead lines, types and electrical representation. Underground cablesGenerating plant characteristicsLoad characteristicsSubstations and protection technology
power transmission calculations 20%
Use of p.u. calculationsSteady state electrical transmission calculations
Control of electrical transmission systems
Control of power and frequency: Turbine governors, distribution of load between generators. Weakly connected systems.Control of voltage and reactive power: Generation and absorption of reactive power by generators, lines, and loads.Voltage control
Electrical power transmission modelling and simulation
Use models of selected portions of an electricity grid to study energy flow in the system, in normal operation, and in the event of selected network faults, generator outages, and weather events
